1) Get A Job on a Cruise ShipSpend your winters in the Caribbean and your summers in Alaska or travel to remote and exotic ports all over the world. Most cruises pay between 1,500 and 10,000 U.S. dollars per week to work on the same luxury cruise ship.

It's a great way to save money and meet people from many different cultures. It is a great summer job for students, as well. Here are some links to start with. www.cruiseshipjob.com & www.cruiselinejobs.com

2) Become A Tour Conductor/Group LeaderDid you know that for every 15 passengers (8 cabins) the 16th passenger goes for free? So get together 7 couples and get them to join you on a cruise. Not only do you get to go for free, your friends get to go for a group rate.

3) Be a SpeakerMany of the cruise lines are looking for programs to present to their passengers. If you have experience and can present a program of general interest. You're welcome to cruise for free. Often you're able to bring along a guest for free as well. Far and away the finest book written about this topic is The Complete Guide to Conducting Seminars At Sea by Mary Long. Mary conducts seminars around the country on a cruise ship. Mary is the world's authority on conducting seminars at sea.

4) Are You EntertainingCall you agent and get him to book you on the next cruise to your favorite destination. Not only will you travel for free, you'll make a few bucks. What, you don't have an agent? OK, the same links that are listed for Get a Job will work for Performance Jobs as well. Tune up your fiddle, or guitar or whatever and head for the high seas.

Each of these suggestions will apply to different folks with different interests but all of them will work. Just be creative and you can cruise for free.
